In the second year of baseball’s manager’s challenge video replay review system, the Rockies may have found their first review of a review Wednesday in the third inning at Coors Field.

With the Astros ahead 3-0, with two outs, Charlie Blackmon stole second base. But his momentum bounced him up off the bag and Houston shortstop Carlos Correa held a tag his leg. So Astros manager A.J. Hinch challenged the call. It was an easy video replay decision and the call was overturned.

Then it got weird. Blackmon was clearly out. But Colorado manager Walt Weiss stormed out to argue with crew chief Jerry Layne, who was the ump at second base. Weiss, though, wasn’t arguing the out call. He was upset that Houston even put in a claim.

Nick Hundley looked back at the video of his ejection Monday and came to grips with the check-swing strike call against him. But he didn’t accept his ejection — and he wasn’t about to say the Rockies are close to turning around their losing streak.

The Colorado catcher got tossed in the eighth inning after he flied out to left field. Earlier in the at-bat, first base umpire Hunter Wendelstedt handed him strike 2 for a check swing. Hundley didn’t like it and waved his hand at the ump.

Then when Hundley ran through first base, he exchanged some words with Wednestedt.

ATLANTA — His team losing, his series going nowhere, Troy Tulowitzki’s anger could be easily traced. But he said after Thursday’s sweep that he wasn’t trying to get ejected when he argued balls and strikes with plate umpire Marvin Hudson in the second inning.

“No, not at all,” he said.

Tulowitzki was tossed after a third strike call that appeared low. There were no curse words involved, but the all-star shortstop said his insistence that Hudson was wrong led to his third career ejection.

“I didn’t think the first and third pitch were strikes. He kept saying they were. We went back and forth. There was no cussing or anything like that. I was telling him the ball was down. He just kept saying, “It was a good pitch.” I said, “no, no.” I kept disagreeing with him. He got fed up that I kept saying it was down,” Tulowitzki explained.

“When you are grinding a little bit and this wasn’t the best series for me, you feel like you are battling up there. And I fouled off some tough pitches. You follow a curveball that you feel is down to get to a full count and instead you get rung up. It’s frustrating.”
